not the greatest pics, but all I have at the moment. 2013 STD bike, 5 speed 4-2-1 pipe, 20k miles, well looked-after and great condition. I'll post more pics once I've got it home. Nearly bought a Triumph T-bird 900 but I missed the sale. Glad I did now, I think are the very best looking retro bikes.

and thanks all for the welcome!

Congratulations, Nick, and welcome to the forum. Looks like a non-stock seat. Be pleased; the 2013 seat is a plank.

Congrats Nick!!

Looks like you have an ABS model. Rare here in the US for the ‘13 model.

Man, two pages in and we're already making him buy a few bits of rubber... welcome to the club!

I wondered about the seat; doesn't the stock seat have "HONDA" across the back?
Also has heated grips, which I'll probably remove; this isn't going to be an all-weather tourer (have F900XR for that).

Think was standard in UK.
Any advice on how to get those downpipes super-shiny?

will think about it once I've got the nasty Oxford heated grips off.
